Albrecht Dürer's House
Albrecht Dürer's House, Art museum and historic residence in Old Town, Nuremberg, Germany.
Description
Albrecht Dürer's House is a five-story timber-frame building with a sandstone base and distinctive half-hip roof located in the Old Town. The interior is divided into exhibition spaces that display artworks from Nuremberg's collection and a reconstructed printing workshop.
History
The building was constructed in 1420 and housed Dürer's residence and workshop from 1509 to 1528. In 1828 it became Germany's first artist memorial site.
Culture
The house displays furnishings and objects from Dürer's era that show how a wealthy artist's family lived day-to-day. Visitors see how a successful Renaissance craftsman organized both his home and his work.
Practical
Plan your visit for morning hours when fewer visitors are present and you can explore the rooms more easily. Regular tours and printing demonstrations happen on specific weekdays, so check the schedule before you go.
